Residence Inn Portsmouth

Stayed at the Residence Inn Portsmouth for a quick, one night stay using my Marriott Bonvoy Points. I did get an alert on my phone very early the day of my check-in (8AM) that my rooms was ready. Although my room was ready, I couldn't check in until later that evening. When I arrived, I was given my keys and provided some basic details about the hotel, breakfast hours, etc. The lobby does have complentary coffee, tea and hot choclate 24 hours a day. We arrived to our room and it was very clean. There was plenty of ice in the ice maker (which I always choose to dispose of and make new ice). Beds were comfortable. Shower was hot. We did eat dinner prior to our check-in. There isn't too much nearby and a car would be needed if you were going to explore the area. In the morning, breakfast was amazing. Fresh scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and some sort of egg dish. There was two waffle makers for waffles, bagels, yogurt and so much more. The breakfast staff was on top of things making sure you had everything you needed. All in all a great stay!

Two complaints. Tv remote was difficult to work. Could not turn down the volume. We had two rooms. Asked if the could be close together. On check in the single room was ready. The two bedroom suite was not but we were told they could be close together. They were not.

Surprise Pet Fee at Check In I was surprised at check in to be assessed with a *surprise* $120 pet fee. This just about doubled the cost of the room. I was VERY disappointed.

Historic beautiful building on the Main Street, restaurants and shopping right outside the door. Street parking, ocean across the street. Very quaint. Room was small, definitely needing upgrading!

Super helpful staff, a lovely upgrade, very comfortable.

Very clean, friendly and checkout at noon!
